There are many valid reasons to dislike the prequels. It's just that yours are dumb.

sorry but you  are dead wrong.   I do have training in  sword play  and ROTJ  wqas  strictly fencing and europeon. when vader says  he would go after leia and luke lunges out and  you  see like and vader heading to the bridge     the stances  are  as clear to see as the nose on your face.  its pure fencing.europeon.  i dont care if you believe it or not. it makes no difference to me.

 

and as far as vader being machine in a new hoipe you  are proving your ignorance once again.  at the time  lucas had not decided if vader  was  human or  cyborg under  the costume.  he said  he  worried how people would react  to  either  way.  he did not make that call till episode 5.  perhaops you need to do some more research before trying to run your mouth and look like a know it all.

You're 36 and have training in swordplay. Given that you apparently know jack about swords, and have the grammar and maturity of a low-performing 7th grader, those aren't exactly bragging. If you tell us you're 9 we might be impressed. If you really are 36, your posts are kinda sad.

But since you were there in the late 70s, no doubt first in line when "Star Wars" came out, you must have seen some special version where Obi-Wan isn't an old man and Vader isn't a lumbering giant with mechanized breathing and cumbersome armor. You also must have seen the Super-Secret-Original-Empire-Strikes-Back where Luke isn't unprepared to face Vader and doesn't get his ass kicked.

For the rest of us, those WERE in the movies we saw. So it makes perfect sense story wise that each lightsaber fight was more impressive than the last one.

And don't kid. Of COURSE it makes a huge difference to you if strangers on a message board believe you're a 36 year old sword master. It's probably the highlight of your weekend to claim that.
